Circumstellar envelope

A circumstellar envelope (CSE) is a part of a star that has a roughly spherical shape and is not gravitationally bound to the star core. Usually circumstellar envelopes are formed from the dense stellar wind, or they are present before the formation of the star.[1] Circumstellar envelopes of old stars (Mira variables and OH/IR stars) eventually evolve into protoplanetary nebulae, and circumstellar envelopes of young stellar objects evolve into circumstellar discs.[2]

Types of circumstellar envelopes
gollark: Apparently "channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed".
gollark: This is slightly ridiculous.
gollark: I'm also signed in as helloboi, so I can't fix it.
gollark: Due to a weird version mismatch I can't actually access the tailscale status thing but too bad.
gollark: I have acquired osmarksnetnet™ access. Now I just need to access `loki` and debug the bees.
